What’s Russia going to do? Airstrike Ukraine?

This should not be taken as a challenge to the trickster gods. I just want them to pack up and go home.

This sounds more like a clarification on existing policy, although it is telling they've said it so explicitly.

I do wonder at what point will Russia accept they simply can't win this though? Ukraine is getting more and more advanced weapons systems, and ever increasing quantities of supplies and ammunition, while Russia is running out of everything. What's the end game?

while Russia is running out of everything

Not sure where this is coming from. Russia has mostly reconstituted its forces and got their war economy going and supply lines from Iran and north Korea... China

This cavalier attitude about Russian capabilities is the big reason why the war is draging on tbh
